Kacie M Dickinson and colleagues from the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization in Adelaide involving 16 healthy subjects in this study. Participants were divided into two groups, of which the first group given tomato soup with salt levels low while the second group was given the same tomato soup with salt levels 10 times as much.

After that, the researchers measured the arteries (blood vessels) participants by using ultrasound. Obtained arterial participants who consumed more salt will damage that makes the blood flow is limited. This effect will begin to decrease in about 2 hours. These results have been published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

When the heart pumps blood through the arteries to produce nitric oxide gas that causes artery walls to relax and allow it to narrow or widen, according to circumstances.

The scientists believe that excess salt can inhibit the release of nitric oxide that makes the walls of the arteries to harden in a short time. Therefore people potentially or have risk factors for hypertension and heart must go on a diet of salt or sodium.

Parikh advised the public to follow the guidelines recommended in the consumption of salt per day. While the people who work hard and exercise levels may require a slightly higher salt in her diet pattern.
